W-1 Microcrystalline wax solid

Hot melting +100 to 120℃, hardening in room temperature


About the W-1 Microcrystalline wax solid

Moisture- and water-proofing coating for laboratory and field requirements where mechanical protection is not needed, or used as the first coating for multi-layer coating.

The solid W-1 is put into a heating appratus (temperature-regulated oil bath is recommended) and completely melted at 100 to 120°C. The hot melted W-1 is applied over the area to be coated with a brush. The W-1 cools down and turns into solid as soon as applied. It is usually applied repeatedly till the cooled W-1 forms an adequate thickness.
